Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs Ryzen 7 6800U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 beats the Ryzen 7 6800U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 6800U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores whereas the Ryzen 7 6800U has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 6800U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 6800U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 6800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 v4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
